To restore iPhone to its previous state we need to put it under Recovery Mode. But under some circumstances , Recovery Mode wont just work. In that case you need to put your phone in DFU mode .

How to enter DFU Mode ?

Enter iTunes and connect your iPhone via USB.

Hold down the Home key and Sleep – Wake button at the same time.
